2. HEROCLOTHING.EU ONLINE STORE
The general terms and conditions define the operation of the online store, outline the rights and obligations of the user and the online store, and regulate the business relationship between the online store and the buyer. The general terms and conditions valid at the time of purchase (when the online order is placed) are binding for the buyer. The user will be informed of these general terms and conditions with each order. By placing an order, the user confirms that they have been informed about these general terms and conditions.

Confirmation of the general terms and conditions when placing an order in our online store constitutes a binding contract between you and the company. Please carefully read the general terms and conditions before confirming your order. If you do not agree with our general terms and conditions, you cannot use the services provided by our online store. It is also not possible to agree to only part of the general terms and conditions. To complete a purchase, you must accept all the general terms and conditions valid at the time of purchase.

i. Use of the online store
The company operates the online store according to the general terms and conditions. The online store is available to buyers at any time, although the company reserves the right to temporarily deactivate or suspend the online store without prior notice.

There is a possibility that the online store may be temporarily unavailable or that payments cannot be processed due to maintenance and updates. The company is not liable for any damages that may occur during maintenance and/or updates of the online store.

ii. Placing an order in the online store
A purchase contract between the provider and the buyer is considered concluded at the moment the buyer confirms the order (the buyer receives an email with the status "Order confirmed"). From that moment, all prices and other conditions of purchase are fixed and valid for both the provider and the buyer. The purchase contract is stored electronically on the company's server.

Purchase process:

Step: The buyer selects the desired product and quantity from the online store’s offerings and confirms their selection by clicking "Add to Cart." If the buyer wants to purchase multiple different products, this process must be repeated for each product. Once the buyer completes the selection process, they can proceed to checkout by clicking "Proceed to Checkout."

Step: The buyer fills out a form with their personal information necessary for the delivery of the order. After completing the form, the buyer may, in some cases, select from several delivery options and add additional products or services to their order. At this stage, the buyer is also informed of the expected delivery date. Before completing the order, the buyer can choose from different payment methods. Based on the selected options, the final amount to be paid for the order is recalculated before the purchase is completed. The buyer confirms the purchase process by clicking "Complete Purchase."

Step: After completing the purchase, the website displays a confirmation message indicating that the order has been successfully placed, along with the details of the order. The buyer also receives a confirmation email to the email address provided in step 2, which contains an order summary, instructions on how to use the ordered products, and instructions on how to withdraw from the purchase or file a complaint if the buyer is dissatisfied with the product or no longer wants it.
All information provided during the ordering process will be processed in accordance with the "Privacy Policy," which can be found at the bottom of the website.

Please be informed that the total value of the purchase, including any delivery charges or other costs related to the purchase, will be charged after your order is confirmed. We will inform you of any additional costs before submitting your purchase. Additional fees may apply depending on the selected payment method.

iii. Prices, Payment Methods, and Promotions

Prices

All prices listed on the website are in EUR and include VAT. Prices are valid from the moment the order is placed. The offer is valid until revoked.

NOTICE: This is a retail online store, exclusively targeting end customers (B2C). For this reason, we do not allow B2B sales through this website and cannot offer the option to issue invoices to legal entities. This also means that subsequent invoice corrections (changing from a private individual to a legal entity) are not possible, as the sales transaction is concluded exclusively with a private individual.

Payment Methods
In our online store, you can use the following payment methods:

  • Credit card payment,
  • Payment via PayPal.
    The company reserves the right to verify the selected payment method using authentication methods. Furthermore, we reserve the right to conduct additional verification of the selected payment method by requesting proof of payment.

You have been informed that you must pay the full amount of the order (including all transaction and delivery-related costs) according to the selected payment method. You guarantee that you have the ability and right to make transactions using a credit card or other chosen payment method.

Promotions

The website also offers discounts and other promotional offers that reduce product prices (hereinafter: promotions). Each promotional item is offered at a reduced price for a certain (limited) period, which is set for each individual promotion. The reduced price applies to all purchases made during the promotion period.

Please note that some promotions are limited to new users who have not yet made a purchase in our online store. In such cases, the promotion does not apply to existing users. Any attempt to take advantage of these promotions will be immediately blocked, and the email addresses used for such abuse will be deleted without prior notice. Discounts and other promotional offers are generally not cumulative unless otherwise explicitly stated for each individual promotion.

iv. Shipping and Delivery Costs
Prices do not include any shipping costs. You can find the delivery costs in the online store, where you also have the option to choose the delivery method. Our company offers two delivery methods: standard and express. The key difference between the two methods is that express orders are processed and packed with higher priority. Please check the price listed next to each option before selecting your preferred delivery method. When submitting your order, a price summary will be displayed, consisting of the purchase cost, delivery cost, and total cost.

If you choose the cash-on-delivery payment method, the courier service will charge a delivery fee calculated during the order submission. If you choose to pay by credit card or via PayPal, the indicated fee will not be charged to you.

The products you have ordered will be delivered to the address you entered on our website as the delivery address.

The estimated delivery date is available to the buyer when submitting the order. The company reserves the right to extend the delivery time in case of increased demand or delays in the delivery service. Deliveries are mostly made before noon. If you cannot receive the package during delivery, the courier service will attempt to arrange a new delivery method and location with the buyer.

If the courier cannot contact the buyer, another delivery attempt will be made the following business day. If the delivery is unsuccessful, the courier will store the express shipment at the post office. The recipient will be notified of the stored express shipment via SMS/email notification or by leaving a written notice in the mailbox. After the storage period expires, the package and its contents will be returned to the sender.

The amount paid for unsuccessfully delivered and prepaid orders is automatically refunded within 8 (eight) business days from the date the warehouse records the return or from the date the company becomes aware that the package was not successfully delivered.

v. Right to Withdraw from the Contract
Buyers who purchase from our online store have the right to withdraw from the contract. This withdrawal can be exercised within 14 days from the date of delivery of the order, as reported to the company by the delivery service. The buyer does not need to provide a reason for their decision. This right to withdraw applies only to buyers who are individuals and who acquire or use goods and services for purposes outside their professional or income-generating activities.

A withdrawal statement is considered timely if submitted within the withdrawal period. The withdrawal statement can be sent by email (info@heroclothing.eu). The burden of proof for enforcing the right to withdraw rests with the consumer.

In case of withdrawal, the buyer is entitled to a refund or product exchange but not store credit.

After submitting the withdrawal statement, you must return the products within 14 days from the date of the withdrawal statement. Please send the goods to our address: GP GROUP d.o.o., Pri bajerju 25A, 1234 Mengeš, Slovenia. The goods are considered returned on time if you send them before the 14-day return period expires.

The consumer's liability for reduced value of goods may be up to the full retail price of the goods on the day of purchase. Given the liability for reduced value mentioned above, the provider recommends that the consumer return the goods for which they are withdrawing from the contract undamaged, unused, and in the same quantity, unless the goods have been destroyed, damaged, lost, or reduced in quantity without the consumer’s fault. If the provider finds that the returned goods are damaged or that the returned quantity does not match, the consumer is liable for the reduction in value if the reduction in value is due to activities that were not necessary to determine the nature, properties, and functionality of the goods. The consumer is liable only for the reduction in the value of the goods resulting from activities not necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and functionality of the goods. The consumer may inspect and test the goods to the extent necessary to determine their actual condition, i.e., inspect the goods with all due care and in the same manner as they would normally do in a store. The provider recommends that the consumer carefully open the packaging, keep it intact, and leave the labels attached to the product until they are sure that the product is suitable.

If you have already paid for the goods you ordered, we will promptly, but no later than 8 business days after the package has been sent to our address, refund all payments received from you in connection with the order. The package is considered sent to our address when our warehouse records it as a returned package. We reserve the right to withhold the received payment until the refund for the products subject to the withdrawal is made.

In case of withdrawal, the consumer bears only the cost of returning the goods, which is charged according to the delivery service's price list and depends on the type and size of the shipment. The consumer cannot claim reimbursement for any additional costs incurred if they explicitly chose a different type of delivery than the most affordable standard delivery offered by the seller.

We will refund the received payment using the same payment method you used during the purchase. In case of cash-on-delivery payment, the purchase price will be refunded to the current account number you provided in your form.

GP Group d.o.o. will only accept the return of packages containing products purchased on this website. Any packages sent by an individual that do not contain products purchased from our company will be returned to the sender at their own expense.

vi. Material Defect
A material defect can be claimed in the following cases:

  • if the product does not have the characteristics necessary for its normal use or for marketing purposes;
  • if the product does not have the characteristics necessary for the use for which the buyer purchased it, which the seller knew or should have known;
  • if the product does not have the characteristics and features that were explicitly or implicitly agreed upon or prescribed;
  • if the seller provided the buyer with a product that does not match the sample or model product, unless the sample or model was shown for information purposes only.
    The company is liable for material defects in the product that appear within 2 years of delivery. The company is obliged to respond to the complaint within 3 business days.
